Dayton-area restaurants offer Easter dining options
Easter Sunday is the fifth-most-popular holiday to dine out, behind only Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day and New Year’s, according to the fine folks at the National Restaurant Association. An estimated 13 percent of Americans dine out on Easter — and while that may not sound like a large proportion, 13 percent of every man, woman and child in the country represents a lot of hungry tummies.
We go the ball rolling last week on Easter dining options and present an updated list here, focusing on restaurants that are offering special hours, a special Easter buffet or special menu and which contacted us about their holiday plans. Some additional restaurants also were mentioned by readers and restaurant folks in last week’s post. If your restaurant isn’t on this list and you’re offering an Easter menu, please do let readers know by clicking on the “post your comment” link and giving us the details.
Diners are urged to call ahead to make reservations, and since the holiday is only three days away (as of this writing) and some restaurants may already be full, it might be best to have a backup choice or two.
